Display multiple posts on one 'post page' (3.32)

    I know there are many similar questions in the forum about how to display multiple posts together, one after the other, on one ‘page’. But having spent hours reading through dozens of them, most of them seem to be about 3 years old and the solutions are way too complicated for someone with a fear of too much code-tinkering!

    My site is mostly made up of ‘pages’. However, I have set up one ‘post page’, accessible from my menu and I was hoping that that would contain all the recent posts. I have set ‘blog to show 10 posts’ in the ‘reading’ settings but each post I have made (all uncategorised) appears in a new ‘page’. How do I make them appear one after the other? Am I missing something obvious? If someone could give me an uncomplicated answer, I would be very grateful. Judging by the number of enquiries, it seems like something a lot of people want to do but with no simple solution from the dashboard.

    First, have you reviewed creating a static front page?

    Thanks for replying so quickly! I have got a static front page. My site is really a general website with all ‘pages’, except for one blog post page. See http://www.frogmarygreenfarm.co.uk . Excuse me if I haven’t used the correct terms – I’m fairly new at using WordPress.

    Have you tried:

    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

    Hi Esmi, thanks for trying to help. I tried all the things you suggested but still the same problem.

    Are you suggesting that if I set, in ‘Reading settings’: ‘Blog pages show at most.. 10 posts’ it should do it automatically without having to fiddle with the code? Certainly in the older questions I read on the forum, it looked like it wasn’t an automatic process. Has this changed then in more recent versions of WordPress? This is the blog page where I want all the blogs to appear: http://www.frogmarygreenfarm.co.uk/blog. Thanks.

    Right now, it looks like your custom menu is linking to a single post instead of the main posts page as configured in Settings -> Reading.

    Thanks Esmi, you were right. I was confused between the name of an individual post and the main blog page. Problem now solved.
